Tourism and Climate Change

Tourism and Climate Change

Daniel Scott; C. Michael Hall; Gossling Stefan

Routledge
2012
sidottu
Climate change is the single most important global environmental and development issue facing the world today and has emerged as a major topic in tourism studies. Climate change is already affecting the tourism industry and is anticipated to have profound implications for tourism in the twenty-first century, including consumer holiday choices, the geographic patterns of tourism demand, the competitiveness and sustainability of destinations and the contribution of tourism to international development.Tourism and Climate Change: Impacts, Adaptation and Mitigation is the first book to provide a comprehensive overview of the theory and practice of climate change and tourism at the tourist, enterprise, destination and global scales. Major themes include the implications of climate change and climate policy for tourism sectors and destinations around the world, tourist perceptions of climate change impacts, tourism’s global contribution to climate change, adaptation and mitigation responses by all major tourism stakeholders, and the integral links between climate change and sustainable tourism. It combines a thorough scientific assessment of the climate-tourism interrelationships with discussion of emerging mitigation and adaptation practice, showcasing international examples throughout the tourism sector as well as actions by other sectors that will have important implications for tourism.Written by three leading academics in this field, this critical contribution highlights the challenges of climate change within the tourism community and provides a foundation for decision making for both reducing the risks, and taking advantage of the opportunities, associated with climate change. This comprehensive discussion of the complexities of climate change and tourism is essential reading for students, academics, business leaders and government policy makers.

Fauxccasional Poems

Fauxccasional Poems

Daniel Scott Tysdal

Goose Lane Editions
2015
pokkari
In Fauxccasional Poems, Daniel Scott Tysdal imagines himself into poetic voices not his own, writing to commemorate events that never occurred, for the posterity of alternative universes — and the delight of our own. From the reign of the first philosopher king once envisioned by Plato, to the twelfth-century Iroquois colonization of Europe, to Barack Obama's career as a poet, to the lasting peace to come under the rule of the Democratic Kampuchea Global Party, Tysdal envisions the paths not taken and what might have been. In these poems, the crew of the Enola Gay refuse to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, John F. Kennedy evades assassination, and Karl Marx moonlights as an agent provocateur for a capitalist consortium. In a dizzying display of poetic insight, technical prowess, and playful parody, Fauxccasional Poems brings these alternate universes to life, forcing the reader to ponder the contingency of history and how each moment brings us to a thousand turning points. Despite our certainties, nothing is ever as it seems, and the future unfolds against our best designs. History is an unreliable vessel for the upwelling of our deepest hopes and fears, and in Tysdal's hands poetry shakes history by the lapels and shouts, "Wake up! Your time is now!"

This book has been 50 years in the making. It certainly isn't a literary masterpiece, but it is a raw display of how grand the Grace of God is. While this book is about God's Grace, I decided to include the majority of my life before encountering Him through Jesus Christ. Why? Because if you don't know where I came from, you won't truly grasp where I am going and how I got here. People died, hearts were broken, and some of the things you will read have yet to be restored. But God...His Grace...is abundantly poured out upon my life. He has a plan for me and nothing can stop it. My intention is that after completing this read, you will understand that nothing you have done can keep you from a life in Christ. www.paintedsoldierministry.com

Songs of Profit, Songs of Loss

Songs of Profit, Songs of Loss

Daniel Scott Souleles

University of Nebraska Press
2019
sidottu
Since the early 1980s, private equity investors have heralded and shepherded massive changes in American capitalism. From outsourcing to excessive debt taking, private equity investment helped normalize once-taboo business strategies while growing into an over $3 trillion industry in control of thousands of companies and millions of workers. Daniel Scott Souleles opens a window into the rarefied world of private equity investing through ethnographic fieldwork on private equity financiers. Songs of Profit, Songs of Loss documents how and why investors buy, manage, and sell the companies that they do; presents the ins and outs of private equity deals, management, and valuation; and explains the historical context that gave rise to private equity and other forms of investor-led capitalism. In addition to providing invaluable ethnographic insight, Songs of Profit, Songs of Loss is also an anthropological study of inequality as Souleles connects the core components of financial capitalism to economic disparities. Souleles uses local ideas of “value” and “time” to frame the ways private equity investors comprehend their work and to show how they justify the prosperity and poverty they create. Throughout, Souleles argues that understanding private equity investors as contrasted with others in society writ large is essential to fully understanding private equity within the larger context of capitalism in the United States.

The Little Database

The Little Database

Daniel Scott Snelson

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA PRESS
2025
sidottu
A poetics for reading the everyday objects that populate a hard drive Bespoke online archives like PennSound and Eclipse host an astounding array of “old media” artifacts, posing a handcrafted counterpoint to the immense databases aggregated by digital titans like Google and Facebook. In The Little Database, Daniel Scott Snelson argues for the significance of these comparatively “small” collections, exploring how digital archives dramatically transform the artifacts they host and how they might help us better understand our own private collections in turn. Examining curated collections such as Textz, UbuWeb, and the Electronic Poetry Center, Snelson explores media-specific works by poets and artists, including William Carlos Williams, Tracie Morris, bill bissett, Nam June Paik, and Vicki Bennett. He develops creative tools and contingent methods for reading cultural data, whether found on the internet or in our own collections of TXT, JPG, MP3, and MOV artifacts, presenting case studies to show how these objects have come to find revised meaning in their digital contexts. Along the way, experimental poetic interludes give readers practical entry points into the creative practice of producing new meanings in any given little database. Inventive and interdisciplinary, The Little Database grapples with the digitized afterlives of cultural objects, showing how the past is continually reconfigured to shape the present. It invites readers to find playful and personal means for unpacking their own data collections, in the process discovering idiosyncratic ways to explore and connect with digital archives. Retail e-book files for this title are screen-reader friendly with images accompanied by short alt text and/or extended descriptions.

The End Is in the Middle

Daniel Scott Tysdal

Goose Lane Editions
2022

Finalist, Nelson Ball Prize Longlisted, Raymond Souster Award Long-Shortlisted, ReLit Award (Poetry)Daring in form and unflinching in its gaze, Daniel Scott Tysdal’s latest poetry collection examines madness as lived experience and artistic method. Taking inspiration from Al Jaffee’s illustrated fold-ins in MAD magazine, Tysdal explores living with mental illness through a new kind of poetry: the fold-in poem. In this innovative collection, each poem does not end at the bottom of the page; instead, the reader is invited to complete the poem by folding the page to reveal the final line. From the effects of being “smiled into an elephantine line” at Pearson International Airport to the rites of official memory and forgetting at a baseball game in the aftermath of tragedy, Tysdal probes both his own psyche and the myriad environments that work to enfold those who are deemed mad.

The Wind Cave Bison Herd: A Century of Success

The Wind Cave Bison Herd: A Century of Success

Daniel Scott Licht

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2020
nidottu
The American plains bison, also known as buffalo, is an iconic and keystone Great Plains species. However, they almost disappeared from the face of the earth at the end of the 19th Century. Shortly thereafter, 20 bison were reintroduced to Wind Cave National Park in western South Dakota. A century later the herd not only survives, it prospers. Over 2,500 surplus bison have been shipped to other entities to start or augment other herds; had those bison and their offspring been allowed to procreate to their full potential they would have produced a staggering 140 million animals by the year 2020. This success occurred at the same time the park killed over 1,000 bison in a successful effort to eradicate brucellosis. But Wind Cave's contribution to the global recovery of bison is only part of the story. The bison reintroduction has been a 100-year experiment, and the park is the laboratory. In addition to describing the fascinating recovery of bison, the book reports the lessons to be learned from a hundred years of conserving a large animal on a relatively small tract of land. For example, throughout the herd's history, there have been concerns of inbreeding, with many calls for introducing "new blood" into the herd. Yet a century later the descendants of those animals not only survive, they prosper. Yet the weights of the animals appear to be decreasing over at least the past 50 years. A plausible explanation is climate change, yet the data suggest that time itself may be a bigger factor than weather. Are the animals getting smaller in part because they no longer face predators or harsh winters? Are the more successful females those that mature earlier and invest more energy into reproduction versus survival? Could the decrease in body size be a form of insular dwarfism? Although there is a long-term decline in body size, there are short-term variations due to rainfall amounts. Although the herd is very lightly stock, increasing rainfall results in increasing weights. But what is surprising is that the current year's rain has less correlation than rainfall several years prior. A plausible explanation is that rain 4-7 years back improves the range for the next few years, which improves the condition of cows, which in turn increases calf sizes, which results in heavier yearlings several years after the wet period. Such long-term patterns can only be established with long-term data sets. In that regard, the Wind Cave Bison Herd is a priceless resource and the story needs to be told.

Artful Immorality – Variants of Cynicism

Artful Immorality – Variants of Cynicism

Daniel Scott Mayfield

De Gruyter
2015
sidottu
When a term is overused, it tends to fall out of fashion. Cynicism seems to be an exception. Its polytropic versatility apparently prevents any discontinuation of its application. Everyone knows that cynicism denotes that which is deemed deleterious at a given time; and every time will specify its toxicities – the apparent result being the term’s non-specificity. This study describes the cynical stance and statement so as to render the term’s use scholarly expedient.Close readings of textual sources commonly deemed cynical provide a legible starting point. A rhetorical analysis of aphorisms ascribed to the arch-Cynic Diogenes facilitates describing the design of cynical statements, as well as the characteristic features of the cynical stance. These patterns are identifiable in later texts generally labeled cynical – above all in Machiavelli’s Principe. With recourse to the Diogenical archetype, cynicism is likewise rendered describable in Gracián’s Oráculo manual, Diderot’s Le neveu de Rameau, and Nietzsche’s Posthumous Fragments.This study’s description of cynicism provides a phenomenon otherwise considered amorphous with distinct contours, renders transparent its workings, and tenders a dependable basis for further analyses.

Algebraic K-theory of Crystallographic Groups

Algebraic K-theory of Crystallographic Groups

Daniel Scott Farley; Ivonne Johanna Ortiz

Springer International Publishing AG
2014
nidottu
The Farrell-Jones isomorphism conjecture in algebraic K-theory offers a description of the algebraic K-theory of a group using a generalized homology theory. In cases where the conjecture is known to be a theorem, it gives a powerful method for computing the lower algebraic K-theory of a group. This book contains a computation of the lower algebraic K-theory of the split three-dimensional crystallographic groups, a geometrically important class of three-dimensional crystallographic group, representing a third of the total number. The book leads the reader through all aspects of the calculation. The first chapters describe the split crystallographic groups and their classifying spaces. Later chapters assemble the techniques that are needed to apply the isomorphism theorem. The result is a useful starting point for researchers who are interested in the computational side of the Farrell-Jones isomorphism conjecture, and a contribution to the growing literature in the field.
